Ruddy Turnstone and Black Terns

I've moved north along Quinlan Ave to the larger flooded field south of 180th St. one Ruddy Turnstone in breeding plumage and Black Terns today.

I didn't have any luck with the Black-bellied Whistling-Duck, but two Hudsonian Whimbrels and two Marbled Godwits have joined the Ruddy Turnstone and Black Terns at the north sheetwater.
